This week Gareth had to do a presentation in front of his classmates about his favourite Australian animal. When we had established that Cheetahs and turtles were not truly indigenous to Australia he decided that he would do his presentation on the Saltwater Crocodile!

He sat down and read up on this delightful creature and wrote out all the info onto scrap paper. I later typed it in simple-to-read font onto little "Palm cards" as requested by his teacher. We printed out a picture we found on Google. He practised and practised his 2 minute speech in front of us this weekend and went into school excited and confident.

He came home from school waving a certificate for being a Star Speaker!
